Amid Mets' repositioning, where does Pete Alonso fit in? Given his production in New York, Alonso is headed for the largest contract the Mets have ever given a homegrown player.

Another two-homer night Alonso went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Friday's 5-1 win over the Nationals.
Impact After launching two homers against the Yankees on Tuesday, Alonso repeated the feat against a division rival, taking MacKenzie Gore deep in the fifth inning for a three-run shot before driving a Rico Garcia fastball over the wall in center field for two more runs in the seventh. Alonso's bat may have woken up too late to salvage the season for the Mets, but over his last eight games he's batting .400 (12-for-30) with seven extra-base hits (two doubles, a triple and four homers) and 11 RBI.

Busts out of slump with two homers Alonso went 3-for-4 with a walk, two home runs and five RBI in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Yankees.
Impact The first baseman ended a 12-game power drought by taking Domingo German deep in the third and sixth innings. Alonso began July by slashing .114/.286/.273 through his first 13 contests on the month, but he's now hit safely in five straight while batting .474 (9-for-19) with five extra-base hits including two doubles and a triple. If the Mets are looking for excuses not to blow up the roster at the trade deadline, a return to form for Alonso could provide them with one.

Slump continues Alonso went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the White Sox.
Impact Though he's still tied for fifth in the majors with 26 home runs, Alonso's power production and batting average have both been trending down steadily since the beginning of June. Over the past seven weeks, Alonso has popped just six homers in 31 games and is slashing .136/.250/.327 during that same stretch. The Mets could soon look to build in an off day for the slumping Alonso, but he'll start at first base and bat cleanup in Thursday's series finale.

Homers, drives in three Thursday Alonso went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 9-0 win over the Diamondbacks.
Impact Alonso knocked in the Mets' first three runs of the game, and it was more than enough for the win. The first baseman has been a little spotty in July, going 4-for-18 (.222) with two homers and six RBI over five games to begin the month. He's up to 26 long balls, 61 RBI, 50 runs scored, three stolen bases and a .218/.311/.514 slash line through 79 contests overall. Given that a bone bruise in his wrist was expected to keep him out until the first week of July, but he came back early June 18, it's possible playing through the issue has hindered his recovery a bit. He's lost 13 points from his batting average since his return.
